It’s test day again. I wake up anxious, nervous, ready for it to be taken and for it to be
over. It’s 7:30 a.m. on a Monday
morning. I get dressed and ready
for my morning routine, which starts with a trip to the gym to take my mind off
of things. As I watch the time go by on the elliptical, I can’t help but think
to myself, “How much time is left?” The time creeps by ever so slowly as I feel
the pressure looming over my head. Finally two hours later I get the text, “It’s done. I feel like the test
went well.”
Nope, it’s not me taking the test. But sometimes it feels like it should be. Welcome to my blog, The True, Honest and Personal Confessions of
a Med School Wife.
After reading Imogen Edwards-Jones novel, Fashion Babylon, which reveals the truth
of what really goes on behind the scenes in the world of high fashion, I started
thinking about my own life. I have
a first-hand view, (without actually having to take the tests) at what it takes
to become a doctor and a doctor’s wife.
When I tell people my husband is in medical school to become
a doctor, they always tell me how I’m going to be rich one day. While being
financial set might be in the cards for me because of my husband, let me tell
you, when he finally gets those paychecks, (I’m talking at least seven years
from now) he will have worked and earned every bit of it down to the last
penny. And while the end result
will be worth it, as for now are still at the beginning of our journey.
So here’s my story. My point of view. How I see it. This is
my canvas to vent, divulge, express and share my life and my story. Who knows, maybe I’ll be like
Edwards-Jones and write a book one day too.
what fun! excited to see where you go with this :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see too! Mav just applied to OT schools and im nervous for him too. So I kinda know what youre going through. Especially the "one day we won't be so tight with money" part.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have another blogger in the medical spouse community! Be sure to join us for the next Medical Monday's blog hop on September 3rd. You can link up at http://fromadoctorswife.blogspot.com/ the first monday of each month. Congratulations on the beginning of an amazing journey:-)
ReplyDeleteHow fun, Nicole! I look forward to reading your blog. Every "kind" of wife has her struggles, but I think you are amazing for taking on the med student wife role! It's funny how many of us pick a partner not knowing what career the man will pursue (Sam was still deciding on a major when we married) but it becomes one of our defining roles for the rest of our lives! As a salesman's wife my view of the upcoming month's finances can fluctuate between dismally negative to "maybe paying off the car AND putting some money in savings" in a matter of minutes! Having a sense a humor about life is such a necessity!
ReplyDeleteHow is Don Carlos? Are him and the gnome getting along swimmingly?
